Chords

In the interest of honesty, these chords have been provided by the Chordify service. They *should* be correct. This song is an excellent example of Calexico's lighter side. Enjoy it! Note: Please pay attention to the strumming style in the original-- I can't really transcribe it here, but it makes the fairly simple chord progression more interesting.
C        G              F
When the evening sun is setting low

C        G           F
Blinding you on your drive home

C       G                F
And the lanes of traffic all converge

C        G            F
Causing you to curse every other word

Em     G           C
For to wish it all away
(pause briefly, then slowly sweep downward with pick/one finger on C)
C     G                 F
Daily grind's got your screw stripped

C         G             F                  Em    G
No can of double-ya-dee forty can fix your situation

      C               F
Seems to be losing steam

C       G               F       G
Dream's been dropped on credit cards

Am  C           Em                  F
And false hope pumping out of your soul

F        C      G                F
Like oil in the gulf it's a dead end

Am       C                 F
Drive it further deep into the ground

G                 F           G
Till the point's dull as your skull

        F    Em           Dm
And the same sun that you curse

            G            C
Powers your hybrid heart home
(more lightly now):
C            G
If only this car could move

F
Half a smidge
